	Understanding Lilith
		Lilith's mythology was expressed through art, iconography, and oral and written traditions; she was regarded alternately as goddess, protective deity and evil spirit, depending on which source one consults or chooses to believe.
		The myth of Lilith, while perhaps created by men, was doubtless kept very alive by women as well, a way that women who miscarried or were infertile, or who were jealous or uncomfortable with their own sexuality, could scapegoat women who were more free.
		When Adam refused to compromise Lilith fled to the Red Sea to 'consort' with demons, according to most accounts, though this might be understood as the choice to live an independent life in which she could enjoy autonomy.

	The Alphabet of Ben Sira
		This text is probably the most important of the founding texts for the myth of Lilith, for it introduces the portion of the story that has been most quoted, appropriated, and heralded today: that of Lilith as the first wife of Adam who flees the Garden of Eden because she refuses to be in subjection.

		Lilith is indeed Adam's equal, for she is made from the dust just as he was; her ability to flee comes from the power of uttering the Ineffable Name; and she is the mother of countless children, one hundred of which die every day.

	The Straight Dope Mailbag: What's the story on Lilith, Adam's "first wife"? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		But Lilith [a militant feminist] was also proud and willful, claiming equality with Adam because she was created from the same dust.
		This mingling of legends provided a good Jewish context for the ancient custom of making the Lilith amulets (thus exonerating the custom from the taint of superstition or witchcraft.) That's why the legend of Lilith as Adam's first wife doesn't emerge until medieval times, although the strands of the story are much earlier.
		However, the modern use of Lilith as a symbol of oppressed womanhood is quite strong.
